The program Fuori dal coro reveals the discovery of violent images in Salim El Koudri’s cell phone. The investigators exclude the possibility of madness.
Far from being a victim of lack of integration, as they would have us believe Elly Schlein and companions, who, after the Modena massacreinstead of greater rigor against fundamentalists, they call for the hiring of psychologists to help them. The transmission Out of the boxwith an exclusive report aired last night, demonstrates that in at least one phone in use a Salim El Koudri the police have found images of violence that lead to the suspicion that what happened last Saturday was not the act of a madman, but the conscious act of a terrorist.
Not only that: among the writings of the young Moroccan’s father the investigators found phrases in Arabic against the colonization of Africa by the West, with appeals to recover one’s identity. Obviously the investigation is only at the beginning, because so far only two of the cell phones of the perpetrator of the massacre have been analyzed and other devices found in his home are missing. Among other things, the work of the police is complex, because some files may have been deleted and the procedure to recover them is long and difficult and it is not certain that some of the electronic tools in use at El Koudri they were made to disappear by himself before launching himself at high speed into the crowd. As for other things, his social profiles would have been closed.
The shadow of terrorism behind the Modena massacre
However, one thing is certain: the investigators are increasingly convinced that that of the young graduate from theUniversity of Modena it is not an action due to madness, but it is a voluntary and conscious choice, long planned. Naturally, the bomber’s defense aims to accredit the idea that El Koudri is a person with serious mental problems. It is no coincidence that the lawyer immediately made sure to request a psychiatric evaluation, as well as hastening to let it be known that the young man had asked for a Bible and a visit from a priest, thus removing any suspicion of Islamic radicalization and bringing closer the idea that the attacker was at least confused. The lawyer’s strategy is understandable, however it is a fact that the gesture of El Koudri responds perfectly to what Islamic extremists use to do. The car transformed into an instrument for killing Christians and the use of the knife to finish off those who were injured are precisely the characteristic instruments of terror solicited by Islamic State. Moreover, the fact that what happened is looked upon favorably by Allah’s fundamentalists is demonstrated by the phrases on the Internet praising El Koudri. For some, the young Moroccan is a courageous man who fights “alone in the heart of the crusaders’ territory”, while others speak of legitimate revenge and hope that Allah will grant him paradise, as befits a martyr.
The signs of the attack and the political debate
And the left? Together with some members of the judiciary he proceeds with the policy of distinctions, denouncing the alleged exploitations instead of the terrorists. As we wrote yesterday, expressions of solidarity have been received towards the young man’s lawyer, who was threatened as he was “guilty” of assisting El Koudri. Of course, no one has the right to blame a lawyer who does his job and who, as in any democracy, does his best to defend the accused. However, we cannot forget what the young Moroccan did and nor can we reduce the massacre to a problem of integration or lack of social services. As terrorism experts explain, all the characteristic signs of a terrorist attack occur in Modena. Anger against the country that hosts you, the use of the car as a weapon to kill, the knife to kill those who were not killed, the awareness, almost the search, for martyrdom. Denying all this is not a wise choice, but an attempt to hide your head in the sand so as not to see. More than a strategy, it seems like the ostrich policy, to remove a danger that has been created by ignoring the alarms.
